When I someday sit down and write the story of my life, it will be merely the highlights–the parts that I remember, that have stood out in some way because of their importance. Moments like this, they seem so crucial when they happen, until a little time passes and then they pale in comparison with […]
It’s 2:00am. I’m at the gym, and I think “Hey… the Wizard of Oz is playing in the Cardio Cinema. I haven’t seen that in like, ten years!” So I go in. Alllll by myself. It’s dark, it’s secluded, and I’m running at a pace of 5.6 when suddenly… the scene where they go into […]
Here is my current predicament: I have too much creativity, too little direction, and far too many other things to do with my time. I recently began my second to last semester of school, into which I have to cram the last ten or so GE’s, major requirements, internship credits, and enough food service work […]
This is my life. I am sitting on the couch in my living room, next to my husband of two and a half months. We (or, okay… I) am watching Jane Eyre on our huge television that doesn’t technically belong to us but just TRY taking it away from me when the time comes. Aaanyway this […]
Ah…laziness. Another unfortunate side effect of engagement. There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the […]
There will be a Reception Line in Hell. And if I am very, very naughty, I will be forced to stand in it. Most likely, somewhere at the front.This is the worst position of The Line because, at the front, every miserable peon who passes through the never ending procession gets stuck in a metaphysical […]
Everyone has baggage when it comes to relationships. Some of it is emotional (like because of a bad breakup, they can’t seem to trust people not to hurt them eventually, or they never show someone their weaknesses until years into a relationship). Others, maybe children of a divorce, might have trouble believing in lasting and […]
Okay, let’s give a shout out to the universal DRT conversation. “Define the Relationship”, those times we either dread having, dread inititating, or dread…avoiding. We’ve all had them. And, like it or not, they are at least partially responsible for the advancement of most relationships. But how to know if what you’re having is indeed […]
I am writing this post from my bathtub. This has been a dream of mine for some time. That is all.
How to avoid terror at the infamous Doorstep Scene: Now, if you’ve been paying attention so far, there’s no reason for you to freak out. By this point in the date, you should already know how she feels about you, how comfortable she is with you, and whether or not she wants you to touch […]
I wish I could tell you each and every example of the dozens of dates I’ve been on where I not only felt completely detached from the subject of the date, but eventually wanted to escape. This is because the guy was either A) completely obsessed with doing everything correctly, and paying SO much attention […]
Today, my friend Devon asked my advice about how to escape a girl dilemma. Again. “So, how does a guy go about letting a girl know he’s interested in a second date, aside from actually saying ‘Let’s go out again soon.’?” He wondered. A valid question, although I had to squirm a little because his […]
There seem to be many times in our lives when we are forced to rely on someone who ultimately disappoints us. Throughout the past year, I was given a lot of opportunities to test how I deal in this type of situation. I found that sometimes it is best to pretend as if you never […]
Blehh. I’ve just eaten half a bag of chips with salsa and stale birthday cake for dinner. This can’t bode well. Mummy, am I going to die? If this is how eternally single people eat, I’m afraid. Maybe if I get a roomate my nutrition when I’m by myself at home will somewhat improve. As […]
Have been in Vail for about a week. No time to blog further. Need…collegiate…companionship. Also, am turning 20 in two days. Wohooo! Love you all! Verocious in Vail
I’m sure everyone has heard the timeless adage about the implications of what it means to assume. So I’m not going to repeat it. But I am going to attempt to refute the universal nature of this credo, as I have in my life come to experience many situations that require assumption in order to survive, if […]
Here’s my analogy for today’s dating problem: Let’s say that you’ve gone for a really long while without eating cake. But that’s not because you don’t love cake and want cake, but you just haven’t had access to cake in a really long time and maybe there’s other cake but you just haven’t seen any that […]
Okay, so here’s the beef for today. Dating sucks. There’s my thesis statement. I will now proceed to tell you all what brought this sentiment on, and then go into precisely why I have made this assertion. For one thing, last weekend I missed (most thankfully) the wedding of two of my childhood friends. They […]
So. This has been an interesting season. I’ve cried, laughed, danced, grieved, slept, ailed, healed, worked, learned, worked, loved, lost, and avoided taxes. I’ve thought, prayed, questioned, pondered, imagined, reasoned, puzzled, wondered, and asked. I’ve doubted, given up, sworn, denied, ignored, forgotten, and spurned. But not once did I die. And for that, I am […]
Okay, so this is a game that I presume Robbie made up. Basically, you Google your name and “needs” in quotes, and copy and paste the first 20 results. Mine were funny, and a little scary at times. For some reason mostly about TV shows and orphans… Veronica needs a diary! Veronica needs to do […]
So, I’ve recently had many, many occasions to reflect on a favorite saying often drummed into me in my youth: “When Life Hands You Lemons, Make Lemonade.” However, for me, this adage presents one very formidable problem. I freaking HATE lemonade. It’s not that I disapprove of it as a refreshing beverage, and nothing personal […]
Ever have one of those days that is so good it just scares the crap out of you? It’s as if there are so many awesome things going on, your logical brain freaks out and wonders when something is going to go horribly wrong. Like the universe is conspiring against you towards your ultimate destruction, […]
Blarrggghh!!! It’s Sunday, and the phlegm is finally leaving. Did I spell that correctly??? Is that even a proper noun, phlegm? Anyway, I feel a bit better. The sinus headache is still there, however, but the coughs are lessening. Which points to the possibility that I may yet survive this blight. Huzzah!!! Stand by for future signs […]
HEY!!! This is the first time I have blogged in forever. Mostly because my compy stopped working, and I had to overhaul it again. Also, life has been pretty crazy lately. Ever since we got back from Colorado, and I was faced with the rather formidable task of archiving our awesome adventures, I have found this […]
Today I’m going to lunch with my uncles and grandparents, the latter of which are in town only for the week. Thankfully. Sink me! (Or shoot me, whichever you prefer.) It’s not that I don’t love my family. I do. I have just come to grips with the fact that they are all insane. And […]
